    Looks like I've missed a cracking thread here. Shouldn't we be talking about how the world's going to end tomorrow because house prices will fall through the floor or how we're all going to be rich as Creasus(sp?) by selling our garden sheds?

    I've got a very nice bottle of Aussie red on the go. GBQuids2 off in Waitrose.

    Deutsche Bank managed to lose over £20 million shorting NRK last week! Idiots. How can you possibly lose shorting those basket cases?
  • I'm trying a tot of grog - rum, lime & sugar - purely medicenal, of course.

    Unfortunately she lives too far away for easy nursing.
    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.
    "I think I'll become an alcoholic," said Betty.
  • They lost shorting NRK?!!! How??

    I have a friend who works as a credit analyst there, I'm going to have some fun...

    OMFG! I failed to follow your instructions correctly and have asked some total random to be my friend! :eek:

    The SHAME! I am so totally blushing!

    (I think I asked you too, otherwise I've contacted two randoms)

    Caught the 'dead cat bounce'. Traders covering short positions to take profits.

    If you look up companies that are really in the brown stuff they'll drop so far and then the share price will rally. That's people that have sold shares they don't own buying them back so they end up flat, hopefully with a profit.

    Deutsche timed it all wrong apparently.

    Big Bank didn't when I checked earlier. They've done pretty well.

    PS Not forgotten I owe you a drink Mel. Just trying to negotiate a good day with Mrs G.

    You can't see me properly! LOL

    That's the house we've done up. I'm glad the landlord on this house doesn't pop round unexpectedly :rolleyes:
